The Long Island town of Montauk is a laidback seaside town where visitors can relax and take in their surroundings. Seal watching is a popular reason tourists come to Montauk as these entertaining creatures frequent the shores of Montauk Point State Park. Hither Hills State Park has access to ocean swimming as well as a 40-acre pond and sites for camping. Second House is an interesting historical cottage that was built for shepherds in the 1900s. Visitors can visit the cottage and a 1797 lighthouse to add a touch of history to their trip. The beaches, wine, golf, diving, museums, shopping, and more make Montauk a popular weekend trip from New York City.
